Our Local Environment

I play ice hockey in Norumsborg. Norumsborg is the ice hockey rink in my hometown Stenungsund. It's only a couple of minutes walk away from my school. As it is so close by we sometimes go skating during gym class. Norumsborg or Borgen(The Fortress) as we call it is rather run down but it's still my second home. I'm there at least four times a week from August to March. During spring and summer it is a sad place with neither ice nor people. The rink was built in the seventies. At first it was outdoors and many games were played in heavy rain or snow. It was covered in 1982, but not much has happened since. The community has just decided to replace it with a new one located at the main sports complex next to the high school, Nösnäsgymnasiet. I'm sure it will be nice but I will miss an early morning practise at Borgen.
